As we were hanging up, Steven said something to the effect of "Goodnight, Mel." I started to correct him. As pretty much everyone knows, 'Mel' has been a guarded term that you needed to have permission to use. Indira made it that way, ever since she originally called me Mel in early high school (For reasons unknown, I called her 'Dips'). Since then, every person who has called me Mel I have corrected and told them they had to have permission through Indira. The only people to ever access this permission were myself, Indira, Seana, Sara, and Rob (Sabrina calls me Missy and Andrea calls me Mellish).

So, since all of the drama and -- well, I'll put it out there-- the lack of friendship between Indira and I because of her complete callousness and then lack of courage on her end to tell me the truth or apologize about something, I would just like to say to everyone that I have now taken over the permissions of calling me Mel.
